Who is the Reporting Courts poster for?
Reporting Courts belongs to the Communications & Media section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning media law & ethics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Reporting Courts poster?
The moment a story touches an arrest, a charge or a live trial. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Reporting Courts belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
